Easy set up. Great for day-to-day activities.
It was not difficult to create an account, from the teachers point of view. The design of the app is clean, meaning that it is easy to navigate. It even provides a tutorial to show how the app works.
In addition, students have the option to take practice quizzes. I think that’s a neat feature. If students come to a point where they care enough about their grades, they can still engage with the app even when they don’t have homework.
This app is pretty easy to use, if teachers use questions that the app itself generates. But it can get a little tricky and take more time if the teacher wants to come up with their own questions.
When a quiz is created it almost seems that it is more effective to assign it right away because the User Interface to edit a quiz later is really not that intuitive. Teachers already have enough going on. Editing a simple quiz shouldn’t have to take much time.
From a UX design perspective. I think the mobile app needs to be more intuitive for parents. Right now it’s confusing to know how to view children’s grades. They should also have the option to see quiz questions, so they can see where their children need help.
Aside from nitpicking this tool, I think it’s a great way to quickly assess students in day-to-day class activities. It helps in giving teachers a better sense of what students might be struggling with. Unfortunately, it doesn’t encourage high-level thinking of the SAMR model nor Bloom’s taxonomy.

DOESN'T HAVE AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE
I love the idea of this teaching tool. I would love it if it would be available to more specific subject areas. It would help my students be able to look at other people signing the signs I do in the classroom & could create their own online flashcards.

A free formative assessment tool that allows for various styles of student response- awesome!
I have searched high and low for a free formative assessment tool. Thatquiz.org (while not sexy by any stretch) is functional and provides me with the tools necessary to accomplish this task. If you are looking for a free way to formatively assess your students look no further than Thatquiz.org

Use for assessment of math and language skills.
I like this site because I can find skills that match what we are doing in class or a review of what we done.I can make the assessment 10 questions up to I believe 100.

This site allows teachers to set up differentiated classes and assign work in various subject areas.
This site has various subject areas available, however I prefer to assess my students in math primarily. You may choose topics, levels, and number of practice problems. You may even create your own assessments or search previously created work. The BEST part about this site is that student work may be deleted and tried again if students think they can (and want) to do better. I make a big deal out of students who aren't happy with mediocre grades, which makes them want to try to increase their scores and understanding!

AWESOME Math Class tool.
First, I use this website for homework with my Algebra 1, 2-Year math students. Rather then asking them to complete problems out of the book, every single night, I mix up the format of the homework. The problems generated in the program are easy to customize to fit the exact material I am covering.

Fantastic Functionality!
That Quiz allows you to select from a wide variety of topics (mostly math) and to create mini-quizzes for students to complete. The mini-quizzes can be modified by number of questions, difficulty level, time limit (if any), and discrete skill. For example, you can select a generic topic such as triangles and decide whether you want students to name them (scalene, right, etc,), measure area, measure perimeter, find missing sides, etc. Once you selected all of your variables (takes just seconds!) you can save the unique URL and assign to students. Students can likewise tweak all variables to create their own practices. Quizzes are self-scoring, and students can return to those questions missed for retaking (some feedback is available as needed). You can also sign up as a user (free!) and create even more specialized quizzes, even in Language Arts.
